Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 sandwich buns
- Lettuce leaves
- Sliced tomatoes
- Sliced red onions
- Optional toppings: cheese slices, pickles
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Toast the Buns: While the chicken is resting, lightly toast the sandwich buns on the grill or in a toaster.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add slices of chicken, followed by sliced tomatoes and red onions. Add any optional toppings, such as cheese or pickles.
- Serve: Place the top half of the bun on each sandwich and serve immediately.
